Family Sagas to Read

I've been asked at the library for family generational stories. I made a list (Who would've thunk)! Positive feedback all around, so I'm happy to share it here too. Happy reading!
From Google AI... "A family saga is a literary genre that follows the lives, relationships, and fortunes of a family or interconnected families over an extended period, often spanning multiple generations. These stories explore the impact of historical events, cultural shifts, and personal choices on the family's trajectory, offering a broad perspective on both individual and societal development."
